I have a Dan Wesson .22 revolver. I shoot it at the range with the 6 inch barrel. When I come home I put on the 2 and 1/2 barrel for self defense. (Yes, I know what you are going to say about a .22 for self defense. You are wrong. My step brother accidentaly shot me when I was 14 when we were plinking. Trust me, a .22 has PLENTY of power.)
I came home from the range, and now my revolver won't shoot. I can't pull the trigger back. Usually this only happened if I put the grip screw on super tight. It usually would work if I loosened the screw. But now, even with the grip off, the gun won't work. Even with the barrel completely removed, nothing is happening. I can pull the trigger back halfway, but I can't get the hammer to drop. I think that the mainspring can be tightened but not loosened by the grip screw. I am afraid to take off the sideplate. I once took a Colt Woodsman .22 apart, and 49 springs and screws flew everywhere. What can I do?

Take it to a gunsmith and have it fixed.
When you clean a weapon, you are also supposed to clean and lightly lube the action. Lack of lube, or to much lube, can cause it seize up.
